CHGRP 1 ""
C 5 NAME
chgrp - change group
SYNOPSIS
chgrp [
-Rf ]
group file ...
DESCRIPTION
Chgrp changes the group-ID of the
files to
group . The group may be either a decimal GID or
a group name found in the group-ID file.
The user invoking chgrp must belong to the specified group and be the owner of the file, or be the super-user.
No errors, except for usage errors, are reported when the -f (force) option is given.
When the -R option is given, chgrp recursively descends its directory arguments setting the specified group-ID. When symbolic links are encountered, their group is changed, but they are not traversed.
